Brother Boost

Dead Meat is the first album from Brother Boost, AKA, Peter Hatch. It's a reflection on turning 40, friends and family, introversion, horseshit, and taking stock. After 20 years of insulated bedroom-recordings and lost hard drives, Dead Meat is an effort to throw away old song-hoarding habits and share something grand. These should be played maximally loud and shared with strangers.

Wrote, recorded, and produced Dead Meat at home in Berkeley, CA.


Yuuki Matthews
Mixed, co-produced, and lent brains and style.


Eli West

Justin Keller
Played electric guitar, saxophone, and bass clarinet on Unnerved and several B-sides, and offered songwriting notes and tips along the way.


Liz Hatch
Sang on Dolly Parton and Calm er Down, donated lifetimes of revisional feedback, lent lyrical ideas, and stood motionless while I recorded vocals.

Christopher Colbert
Mastered the album.


Special thanks to Jeff Pulver and Scott Allen for years of inquiring about m'tunes, and my whole family for cheering me on like wild animals.
